SUMMARY:The Arb in Focus: 40 Views for 40 Years
DESCRIPTION:See the Arboretum from the viewpoint of those most familiar with it! \nThe Arb in Focus: 40 Views for 40 Years is a photography project celebrating the Arboretum’s 40th anniversary. For the occasion\, 40 people connected to the Arboretum\, either as staff\, members\, or volunteers have taken ‘point and shoot’ digital cameras onto the grounds to photograph what matters most to them\, using small pocket digital cameras. \nThe collected photographs represent hundreds of moments on the grounds – on the trails\, in the formal gardens and ‘behind the scenes.’ Though the beauty of the gardens is certainly part of the experience\, viewers of The Arb in Focus can expect more than plants\, trees\, and trails\, as participating photographers capture candid moments and sights that convey what it looks like to spend a day at the Arboretum. \nAfter the completion of The Arb in Focus\, the cameras will be used for the Education department’s Discovery summer camps.
